Summary: Scurvy in a child approximately one year old.

Skull: There is new bone growth sitting on the cortical bone surface of both
exoccipital and the basi-occipital portions of the skull. All patches have a fine
labyrinthine appearance and are covered in microporosity. Similar patches of
bone can be seen on the supraoccipital bone and the left parietal. Both
squamous portions of the temporal bones are covered in the same
labyrinthine bone and fine porosity, which is particularly pronounced around
the mastoid processes. The right and left greater wings of the sphenoid, both
optical surfaces and the basi-sphenoid are covered in woven bone that is very
porous and sitting on top of the cortical bone surface. The cortical bone
surface of the mandible is badly damaged post-mortem however, there are
thick plaque like deposits of new bone formation sitting on the cortical bone
still present around the right and left portions of the mandibular corpus. This
bone is fairly dense with fine striation and porosity.

Arms: Both scapulae have some post-mortem damage to the cortical bone
surface, however, there is fuzzy new bone growth in the supraspinatous
fossae, down the scapulae spines and around the inferior rim of the scapular
blade on both the anterior and posterior surfaces.

Finely striated and porous bone on the posterior and medial mid-distal shaft of
the right humerus and on the medial and anterior mid-distal shaft of the left
humerus. Both bones have a lot of post-mortem cortical bone surface
damage.

Slight flaring of the distal radii, more pronounced in the left. Distal right radius
is very striated, unclear whether this is the result of pathology or normal
development and post-mortem damage. The left radius has labyrinthine new
bone formation on the proximal two thirds of the diaphysis. Changes are
visible around the circumference of the shaft. There is one plaque like deposit
of new bone growth on the anterior mid-shaft of the bone.

There is pronounced new bone formation on the proximal two thirds of the
anterior and medial surfaces of the left ulna and on the proximal two thirds of
the anterior and lateral surfaces of the right ulna. Both ulnae are affected by
post-mortem degradation however, the new bone is finely striated, porous and
sitting on the cortical bone surface.

Torso: The ribs have a substantial amount of post-mortem damage to the


cortical bone surface. However, some appear to have lesions. There are
patches of demarcated bone on the second and third right ribs. Patches of
new bone formation on most ribs with some porosity and striation.

There is porous new bone formation on the posterior aspect of the left ilium. It
is sitting on the cortical bone surface.

Legs: Fuzzy new bone formation on the mid third of the right femoral
diaphysis. The bone is sitting on the cortical bone surface and very fine with
microporosity. There is a plaque like deposit of new bone extending down the
posterior surface of the left tibia. It is finely striated and porous.
